A question of linkage

Islam | Enemy at Home author Dinesh D’Souza and WORLD’s Marvin Olasky, author of The Religions Next Door, debate how far Muslims and Christians can go to form alliances | Marvin Olasky, Dinesh D'Souza

OLASKY: Your linkage of the domestic culture war and the war on terror makes sense, but I question your new book's proposal that American conservatives develop alliances with Islamic conservatives. I don't see any tendency among Islamic conservatives to uphold religious liberty—and how can we abandon Christians undergoing persecution so as to preserve our own comfort?

D'SOUZA: We in the West can help our Christian counterparts in Muslim countries if we work more closely with traditional Muslims to stem the influence of the radical Muslims. We could work to convince traditional Muslims to accept reciprocity with Christians: Both sides agree to allow conversion, and both sides agree to condemn public insults against monotheistic religions.
